Patent GB-190607156-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Marine Turbines.
Filed: 1906-03-24
Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 7156. White &. Co., J. S., Carnt, E. C., and Forster, A. March 24. Elastic-fluid turbines.-In a marine turbine, the blading and direction of flow of steam are so arranged that steam first acts on portions of blading in opposite directions, so as to balance its own end thrust, and afterwards on another portion in opposition to the propeller thrust. In the example shown in Fig. 1, steam entering at a passes in opposite directions to the ends of the portions SB, thus balancing its own end thrust, and then through the portion PB to the exhaust, exerting a thrust in opposition to the propeller thrust. The fluid from the outer end of the part SB reaches the portion PB by way of a hollow drum c and holes e. Any unbalanced pressure is taken by a thrust block k. Fig. 2 showns a modification in which steam enters at both ends ; part of that admitted at the left-hand, or rearward, side passes, after traversing the rearward part SB, through the holes e and the hollow drum c to the right-hand side. of the part PB and thence through the blading d to the exhaust.

Title: A Self Regulating Apparatus for Delivering a Constant Supply of Water for Irrigation or like purposes.
Inventor: GIBB ANDREW SHIRRA
Filed: 1906-04-25
Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 9669. Gibb, A. S. April 25 Agricultural drainage ; arrigation.-A selfregulating apparatus having no mechanicallyoperating parts is used for delivering an approximately-constant supply to a watercourse from a distributing channel having a variable head of water. As shown in Fig. 1, the apparatus consists of a series of weirs A fitted in compartments B of a D-shaped or semicircular chamber formed by walls C of masonry enclosing a curved passage and formed with ports D, D', through which water flowsby way of the passage from the water channel E to the watercourse F, direct communication being prevented by the wall G. Radiating vertical plates I, which form with the masonry the compartments B, are cut at their lower edges as shown at i, Fig. 2, thus leaving a continuous curved passage C', which is covered in by horizontal plates J but is open at the inner and outer edges. Water entering at D and flowing through the passage C' rises at the outer edge more or less according to the variation in the head. When the water overflows the weirs A, it rejoins the curved stream at the inner edge under the plate J, and by its radial circulating flow renders ineffective for delivering purposes the excess head. When all the weirs are overflowing, the supply ceases to be constant.

Title: Improvements relating to Driving and Reversing Mechanism for Motor Road Vehicles, Boats and like Services
Inventor: HUSKISSON WILLIAM MARSHALL
Filed: 1907-05-09
Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 10.816. Huskisson, W. M., and Holder, J. A. May 9. Brakes.-The driven shaft a of the hydraulic clutch shown in Fig. 1 is fitted with a disk b, which carries a pair of diametrically-opposite feathering vanes c. An enclosing casing d, attached to the driving-shaft f, contains an annular chamber e in which move the vanes c. Attached to the casing are cam-roller paths g, which, in conjunction with rollers h and levers i, operate the vanes in such a manner that they can pass through a fixed partition j in the chamber e. Passages on each side of the partition are filled with a fluid and are connected by a valve l, which is regulated by a sleeve on the shaft and suitable levers to control the relative motions of the two shafts. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, a casing, normally free to rotate, encloses a vaned disk on each shaft. When the casing is prevented from rotating by a brake, reversal of the driven shaft takes place. The levers for operating the valve are controlled by a camplate n. When speed variation is desired, and not reversal, the casing is locked to the shaft a by a clutch o operated by the cam-plate n. In another modification, a common casing encloses multiple sets, each of the type shown in Fig. 1, on the driven shaft, and one set on the driving-shaft. Speed variations are obtained by putting one or more of the driven disks in communication with the driving-disk.

Patent GB-190803457-A (GB)
Title: Improved Embroidering Machine.
Inventor: LIE CORNELIUS
Filed: 1908-02-15
Granted: 1909-02-15
Abstract: 3457. Lie, C. Feb. 15. Ornamental - sewing machines.-The needle - bar d and shuttle h' are carried by a frame a, which can be moved by hand to bring the needle to any point within the work-supporting ring i<1>, The needle-bar and shuttle are stopped automatically after each stitch, and are re-started by manually commencing the downward movement of the needle. The needle is positioned for each stitch by hand while the needle-bar &c. are inoperative. The frame a is pivoted on a plate b which itself is pivoted on the bed-plate. The needle-bar d slides in a tube e which is reciprocated in guides in the head of the frame a by a crank-pin and link s'. The needle-bar receives the motion of the tube by means of the end of a lever g which passes through slots in the tube and bar. The slots, however, are wider than the lever end so that, just before the needle-bar reaches the bottom end of its stroke and when a spring L contacts with the lever g, the needle-bar is given an upward movement relative to the tube to open the needle-thread loop for the shuttle to enter it. The shuttle is operated through links h, i, k<1> by an arm f fixed to the reciprocating tube e. The crank-shaft o is driven from a flexible shaft r<1> through a shaft m and a clutch n. The crank-pin is confined between cam-surfaces q, r, and when the needle bar and tube reach the top end of their stroke, the cam r moves the shaft o to the left and releases the clutch. When the needle is positioned and the downward movement is commenced by hand, the crank-pin is moved by the cam q to the right and the clutch is closed. By these means, the machine parts are driven for one stitch at a time. The tube e is provided with a sleeve e<1> having a finger ring k by which the needle is moved over the work as desired. The sleeve is provided with a weak spring s which snaps into a groove p<1>, but which, if the hand is unable to follow the movements of the needle readily, slips out and allows the tube e to slide through it. With this provision, the needle can be guided by hand when the cam r is removed and the needle-bar &c. are continuously operated. The tube can be secured in its uppermost position by a catch u. In a modification, to ensure a regular appearance for the stitching, the tube e and a spindle upon which the shuttle race is mounted are geared together, so that by means of a handle attached to the tube the needle and shuttle can be turned into the proper position relative to the direction of the feeding movement. The stitch a<3>, Fig. 9, is produced if the parts are rotated before each stitch so that the shuttle is on the rear side of the needle with regard to the feeding movement, and the stitch b<3> is produced if the shuttle is on the front side. Instead of commencing the downward movement of the tube by hand to close the clutch, the cam r is carried by a slide and is moved away from the crank-pin.

Abstract: 13,161. Schmidt, C. R. June 29,1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Capsule closures.-The upstanding flange 1 of the metal part of an internal capsule closure has struckout teeth 4 which are turned down to engage the cork disk 5, Fig. 4, and hold the two parts of the closure together until engaged within the bottle mouth. A waxy composition 6 is preferably interposed between the cork and metal disks before the parts of the closure are assembled ; after application the closure is heated to remelt the waxy material. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 9 (3) (a), comprises also external and internal capsule closures formed of a metal part and an elastic or cork part with an interposed waxy composition, made say of bees-wax and castor oil. A disk of waxed paper may be substituted for the washer and in this case the waxy material consists preferably of paraffine, oil, and fibre. The elastic part of the closure may be saturated in waxy material. In all cases the waxy material is adapted to flow under heat or pressure during the application of the closure and so fill up all interstices and make an hermetic joint. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
